Summary of the contracting process

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council is procuring building refurbishment works at Manchester Chambers, 14 Manchester Chambers, Oldham OL1 1LF. The project will strip out and refurbish two lower-ground-floor units that were formerly retail premises, creating suitable market-stall units and storage for market traders. This is a small construction and fit-out requirement, covering alterations, refurbishment and the conversion of existing commercial space for market use. Businesses specialising in commercial refurbishments, retail-unit fit-outs, internal alterations, strip-out works, or the creation of stall and storage areas are likely to find the scope relevant. The work is located in Oldham and concerns a single site and connected refurbishment requirement.

The buyer invited offers through a tender using a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 4 August 2026 at 23:59, and the tender submission deadline, extended by amendment, was 18 August 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract period is from 2 November 2026 to 8 January 2027. The estimated value is £129,000 excluding VAT, or £154,800 including VAT. The procurement is a single lot. Offers are evaluated on quality at 50%, price at 40% and social value at 10%. The opportunity is reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises, voluntary, community and social enterprises, with participation reserved to organisations in the United Kingdom.

This opportunity suits contractors able to manage a compact commercial refurbishment from strip-out through to finished internal accommodation. Relevant capability includes removing existing retail fixtures and finishes, adapting lower-ground-floor units, carrying out building and finishing works, and forming practical market-stall and storage areas. Experience of refurbishing retail, market, commercial or other customer-facing premises would be useful, particularly where the work must be coordinated within an existing building. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and for voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it may suit firms that can deliver directly rather than needing a large delivery organisation. Contractors should be able to demonstrate quality and social-value outcomes alongside competitive pricing.
